The Broadway musical Once may have closed two years ago, but its bowling team has stuck together and continues to roll on to glory.
The Broadway Bowling League completed its fall 2016 season with the show's team, the Hoover Fixer Suckers, in first place.
For more than 20 years, the Broadway Bowling League has given the cast and crew of Broadway and Off-Broadway shows a chance to unwind in the friendly environment of Frames Bowling Lounge located in the Port Authority Bus Terminal. The teams play every Thursday evening at 11:30 PM after the curtains come down, and there are two championships each year, one in the fall, one in the spring.
Several teams have continued to play together long after their shows have closed.
After a holiday break the League will return in January. For more information about the League, contact co-commissioners TJ D’Angelo and Larry Scheraldi or visit the website Broadwaybowling.com.
All proceeds of the League go to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
